“And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or female, and
is a (true) believer in the Oneness of God such will enter Paradise
and not the least injustice, even to the size of a speck on the back
of a date-stone, will be done to them.” Qur'an ( 4:124 )
Islam however recognizes that equality does not mean that men
and women are the same. It takes into account their differences in
physiology, nature and temperament. It is not a question of
superiority or inferiority, rather a question of natural abilities and
having different roles in life.
The laws of Islam are just and fair
and take these aspects into consideration.
Men have been assigned the duty to work and provide for their family and women have
been assigned the role of motherhood and homemaking. Islam
states however that that the roles are not exclusive nor are they
inflexible.
Women can work or serve society and men are able to
take responsibility for their children or their household.
It is interesting to note that where women choose to work the money
they earn is their own however a man must provide financially for
the whole family.
How do we know Islam is the truth?
1- It is the only religion that holds Allah as One,
Unique, and Perfect.
2- It is the only religion that believes in the sole
worship of Allah, not Jesus, not an idol, and not an angel , only Allah.
3- The Quran does not contain contradictions.
4- The Quran contains scientific facts, which are
1300 years ahead of their time. The Quran, while
revealed 1400 years ago contains scientific facts,
which are only now being discovered. It is not in
contradiction to science.
5- Allah has challenged the world to produce the like
of the Quran. And He says they won't be able to.
6- Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the
most influential man in history. In the book "The 100
most influential men in History", written by non-
Muslim, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) was #1.
Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him)
was #3.
It should be noted that even the Prophet
Jesus (peace be upon him) was a prophet sent by
Allah.
All prophets are honored from Allah , and we make no distinction between any of His messengers.
